 Hello fight fans, Fallen Champions has another great card for you on Friday Night at Hayashi's Lounge in Hilo. Joesph Ely is looking to defend the 135lb Crown for the 3rd time, we also have The Law-nley Boy making his return and this match up could very well decide the future of his MMA career! There is 8 other great contest on the slate so lets get it started....
185lbs-Asa Sharp(0-2)(0-2)vs Sir Galahad(0-2)(0-2)-Sharp by Sub in 1st Rd
265lbs-Jose Pedro(1-0)(0-0)vsEddie Pryor(1-1)(1-0)-Pedro by Sub in 1st Rd
185lbs-Tommy Riordan(2-2)(1-1)vsEmunn Samvesu(2-2)(1-2)-Samvesu by UD
265lbs+-#10.Hulk Hogan(10-11)(1-3)vsApollo Balboa(2-6)(0-1)-Hogan by Sub in 1st Rd
135lbs-#7.Evil Ryu(7-4-1)(1-1)vs#8.Turbo Taines(4-2)(2-1)-Ryu by UD
265lbs+-Tug Boat(4-5)(0-3)vs#7.Dada"The Beast"Chisaraokwu(3-0)(2-0)
Tug Boat has been on a slide since entering into Fallen Champions back at FC XXIII, losing his last 3 fights by knockout! And for the first time he is on the outside of the top 10 looking in which is not where he is used to be. He is still a dangerous opponent and if he can get the fight to the mat, he will smother his opponent and maul them into a finish! When Dada Chisaraokwu enters into the cage he makes no attempts to fool his opponent of his gameplan, and immediately attacks them looking for a takedown. Once he gets his opponents down, he uses his ground n pound to finish the fight. I think with Dada having the superior Wrestling in this one, he will land a takedown and while I don't think that he will be able to submit Tug Boat, I see him being able to finish it on the ground!
185lbs-Viktor Belfort(7-4)(1-2)vsCamber "The Relief" Cartwright(7-7)(2-0)
Viktor undoubtly has some of the best hands in the Middleweight division, and if the fight stays standing he can stand and bang with anyone having great hands and a granite chin! He lost his FC debut to Tom Finch, then fell short in their rematch for the title, but both men were awarded the Fight of the Night award. Camber Cartwright has been on a tear since entering Fallen Champions, winning his last two by way of submission and evening earning a submission of the night award in his last outting. He has some good standing kicks, to match his high level ground game which has earned him 5 of his 7 victories. The difference in this one is going to come down to Wrestling, if Belfort can stuff the takedown attempts he should be able to pull of a knockout victory, but if Camber can land a takedown he should be about to lock up a submission victory!
155lbs-#4."The Animal"James Madness(8-5)(4-1)vs#7.Damien Lok(5-2)(3-2)
James Madness is coming off of the loss in his title effort against Darcy Lilo at LL XXIII, and the rumor out of the Medieval camp is he has been a man on a mission as of late! He has some descent wrestling to go with his high level submission game which has help him earn 7 submission wins. Damien Lok is a very well rounded fighter, and is comfortable where ever the fight goes. He just earned his Black belt from famed BJJ master Leland Kirby, and maybe looking to show off his newly earned BJJ class. These two met back at FC XXII, and while Lok was able to take the fight to the ground Madness remand actively looking for a sub off of his back and finally caught Lok in a deep Triangle choke in the closing minutes of the 1st Rd. I think that Damien will come out with a little different gameplan and try to stand and use his superior stand up to pick his opponent apart!
135lb Championship-(#5 P4P)C.Joesph Ely(7-1)(3-0)vs#2.Blas"Sonic"Kavcic(7-0)(3-0)
Joesph Ely is on a 6 fight win streak, and just keep gaining momentum coming into his 3rd title defense. He has a great mix of stand up with some very slick submissions, he also has a very good takedown and lands over 60% of his attempts! Once he gets the fight down he peppers his opponent, and using that ground and pound to set up his transitions and submissions. His opponent Blas"Sonic Kavcic is a very promising undefeated prospect, with 7 wins and 7 submission on his record. He comes out and looks for the takedown, and always eventually gets it. Once on the mat Blas uses more of a stalking approach, and just waits for his opponent to match a mistake and once they do he jumps up a submission. Joesph may look to use his boxing advantage, but I see this one at some point turning into grappling match. Blas has a higher level of BJJ belt, but I think that Ely has alittle higher class grappling and I see this one going to decision with Ely's hand being raised at the end!
155lbs-#2."The Law-nley boy"Tom Cirus(12-4)(4-1)vs#6.Robert E Conan(6-3)(3-2)
It has been rumored that if Tom Cirus loses this fight we may look to end his MMA career and concentrate full time on being a lawyer, and as a fan I really hope that he decides against it! He has some Olympic level Wrestling, and has some an awesome ground and pound. He has been able to finish all 12 of his fights on the mat, so if he can get the takedown he has a good chance of taking home the W. Standing across from him is Robert E Conan who needs a win to get himself back in the title picture, but it seems like everything he is on the verge of breaking into the top of the division he ends up losing. He has some good defensive Wrestling, and also has some very good well rounded striking. He lands almost 70% of his total standing striking thrown, and also has the power to end the fight with one punch! I think that if Tom can land a takedown then Robert will be in alot of trouble, but if Conan can Sprawl a few times he could prolly test Cirus's chin!
There you have it folks a great night of fights! I would like to thank our Sponsors The Pirate Powder nutriiion and The Dark Side clothing store, make sure to check in with them for all of your tycoon needs!
